Jcally x Crinacle AP6 Portable DAC-Amplifier

The JCALLY × Crinacle AP6 represents a new benchmark in portable audio performance, designed in collaboration with renowned audio reviewer and measurement specialist Crinacle.

Developed to deliver exceptional power and precision in a compact form factor, the AP6 stands as JCALLY’s most powerful DAC-amplifier to date. With up to 540mW of balanced output power (16Ω load), it confidently drives demanding headphones whilst maintaining superb detail, clarity, and control.

The AP6 introduces a dual-output Conexant CX31993 DAC architecture, the first of its kind in this category, enabling simultaneous 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs with remarkable efficiency. Complemented by dual SG Micro SGM8262 op-amps, the AP6 achieves both high current output and low distortion for a refined, transparent sound signature.

Encased in a sleek, anodized aluminum body, the AP6 combines minimalist industrial design with robust durability, offering premium build quality and portability for everyday audiophile use.

At under US$40, the AP6 redefines what’s possible in entry-level hi-fi—offering a reference-grade sound signature crafted and tuned in partnership with Crinacle.
